A Fantabulous Day

The day is finally here!!!  The first challenge at Fantabulous Cricut!!!  Our first challenge is a pretty simple one!  It must include three things:

1.  A balloon
2.  The word birthday
3.  A Cricut cut

Now, your Cricut cut doesn’t have to be the word or the balloon but you must use at least one cut.

I do most of my Cricut work in Design Studio.  I like using DS for two reasons; first, I can design my project while sitting back in my comfy chair using my laptop.  Oh, you can adjust your images to the dimensions that work for you. 

The tag is from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and I adjusted the dimensions to 2.724 x 4.37.  I cut the balloons out at 3 inches (Stretch Your Imagination) and then cut off the strings attaching them with rick rack instead.  The Happy Birthday is cut from Calligraphy Collection at 2.5 inches.  I discarded the star that is cut with the image.

I like to add some kind of dimension to letters and sentiments.  Since this particular cut doesn’t have a shadow or blackout feature, I added a few dots of Liquid Pearls.

Now it’s your turn.  Head on over to the Fantabulous Cricut challenge blog and have a look at all the wonderful creations by the DT.  Robin has chosen some very talented ladies for the DT.  I know a lot of you ladies that come here regularly have Cricuts so I want to see you start using them.  Okay?

Blessings,

Christine
